In the next two years, He Shen's speed of promotion was comparable to sitting on a rocket.

In his previous life, He Shen had rolled a circle in the sea of business.

He Shen needed to learn slowly, but he didn't need to.

He could use it directly.

He Shen gradually fell into a trance.

"Young Master?"

"Young Master?" Xuan Tong Daozhang rubbed his knees a little uneasily.

Mingming was also a character in Fujian.

Ordinary people didn't dare to offend him easily, but in front of He Shen, Xuan Tong Daozhang always felt that he was inferior and didn't dare to act rashly.

"Yes.

You should rest first.

If you have any plans, let me know tomorrow. "

Xuan Tong Daozhang had no choice but to agree.

"Bring a bowl of sweet water for the Taoist priest," He Shen said.

The servant girl responded.

She took the sweet water and snacks and placed them in front of Xuan Tong Daozhang.

These things.

Xuan Tong Daozhang had never seen them before. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and didn't want to show the slightest bit of a country bumpkin.

Sure enough, there were many good things in the capital.

Xuan Tong Daozhang sighed and couldn't help but gulp down the food and drink.

He Shen took his time admiring his gesture.

He already had a vague idea in his heart.

These sweet water and snacks were based on the original food of the Qing Dynasty.

They were made with more precision.

Naturally, they were much more delicate.

It was not comparable to the food in the palace, but it was comparable to the food of the common people.

It was enough to amaze people.

He Shen was very satisfied.

There was one more way to make money in the future.

"Have a rest, Taoist priest." He Shen stood up and left.

Xuan Tong Daozhang didn't dare to stop him. He stood up and nodded repeatedly.

He watched He Shen leave.

After He Shen walked away.

Only then did Daoist Xuan Tong size up the house.

It didn't show how rich it was.

But it was full of exquisiteness.

Xuan Tong Daozhang recalled He Shen's appearance just now.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The capital was indeed different.

In front of him, she felt even more insignificant.

The maids quickly cleared away the dishes.

Xuan Tong Daozhang glanced at the table and found a letter on it.

When he opened it, Xuan Tong Daozhang immediately quivered.

The more he looked down, the more he trembled.

It was not because of fear, but because of excitement.

He knew that the Young Master was prepared!

Xuan Tong Daozhang folded the letter neatly and put it into his pocket. He did not look for He Shen again and even moved out the next day.

After that, Xuan Tong Daozhang lived in a small Taoist temple on the outskirts of Beijing.

A few of them had heard of his reputation and came to pay him a visit.

Under their guidance, Xuan Tong Daozhang gradually entered the circle of wealthy families in Beijing.

And this was only the first step for him to re-establish his reputation in the capital.

In the 31st year of Qianlong, the imperial examinations were held.

He Shen was 16 years old.

He Shen's teachers, Wu Shengqin and Wu Shenglan, greatly valued He Shen's talent and ability. They spent a lot of effort on He Shen and hoped that he could obtain a good ranking.

This year, the small Taoist temple finally gained some fame.

Any strange illness that ordinary doctors could not treat could be treated by this temple.

Although the noble families in the capital were particularly disdainful of this temple, they more or less had some impression of this Taoist temple.

At this time, He Shen was sitting under the window, opening the letter in his hand.

One letter was written by Xuan Tong Daozhang, and it was about the recent situation of his Taoist temple.

He Shen hastily swept through it, then tore it to pieces and burned it.

The other letter was from Yangzhou.

He Shen opened it quickly, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth that he did not notice.

But soon, the smile disappeared.

This letter was not written by Daiyu, but by Lin Ruhai.

For some reason, Jia Yucun had been reinstated as an official by Lin Ruhai, but Daiyu had not come to the capital.

He Shen felt very helpless. It was probably because he had delayed Jia Min's death with his own strength.

Naturally, Rongguo Province would not come to pick him up.

He Shen restrained his thoughts, and carefully scanned the contents of the letter.

Soon, He Shen raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth curled up without leaving a trace.

It did not deviate too much from the plot of the book.

The people sent by Rongguo Province to Yangzhou were still on the way. Probably because the letter had been sent earlier, Lin Ruhai could not wait to write another letter to He Shen.

Lin Ruhai was not sure whether to let Daiyu come to the capital with the people from Rongguo Province.

After all, he couldn't leave Ren Land. Even if Daiyu had maids and servants by her side, she was still going to her maternal grandfather's home. Lin Ruhai still couldn't let her go.

So, he entrusted the letter to He Shen.

He Shen folded the letter, but pressed it between the books.

Actually, why did Lin Ruhai specially entrust it to him?

If Daiyu came to the capital, he would naturally take care of him.

As he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the window.

He Shen raised his head and looked outside. He saw He Lin standing outside with an aggrieved expression.

He Shen had no choice but to put down the book in his hand, "What happened?

Could it be that someone bullied you? "

"I heard from someone at the official school today …" He Lin said angrily.

"What did they say?"

"They said that my brother is going to get married soon."

He Shen was amused.

Why didn't he know that he was going to get married?

Seeing that He Shen did not say anything, He Lin felt even more disappointed. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I heard that she is the granddaughter of Feng Yinglian, the governor of Zhili … If someone from such a family does not treat me well in the future, my brother won't be able to protect me …"

He Shen was even more amused, "What nonsense are you talking about?

I have never seen the girl you are talking about. "

"Re, really?"

He Lin looked up at him, tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, "But they all said that my brother is going to get married first before he goes to take the exam."

He Shen searched through his memory for a while.

He vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have mentioned this to him recently.

But He Shen's mind was not on this at all.

Moreover, in his opinion, he was not old, and those girls were even younger.

How could he marry them?

He Shen shook his head, "Don't disturb your brother. You should go back and read your book. Why are you so immature all day long?"

He Lin raised his hand to wipe his tears, but he laughed, "It's good that my brother is not going to get married …"

He Shen pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Get married?

He did not find a girl he liked in his previous life, let alone in this life.

He was afraid that no girl who grew up under the education of feudal etiquette would be suitable for him.

Thinking of this, He Shen suddenly broke the writing brush.

Wait a minute …

He was not going to get married.

But Daiyu was going to get married in the future.

He Shen thought about it, but he really could not think of who Sister Lin would marry in the future.

Jia Baoyu was definitely not going to happen.

Although Jia Baoyu was not bad in nature, with his temperament, if he was to be with Daiyu, Daiyu would suffer a lot and suffer a lot. She might even go to the dead end in the original work.

How could that be!

Once he thought about it, he couldn't stop himself.

When He Shen came back to his senses, his hands were already stained with ink.

The rice paper on the table was also in a mess.

He Shen knocked on the table and said to the door, "Call Steward Liu in."

The person outside responded.

Not long after, Steward Liu carefully pushed the door open and came in.

He bowed in front of He Shen and asked with an eager smile, "Young Master, do you have any orders?"

He Shen smiled slightly and looked at Steward Liu from head to toe.

He Shen rarely smiled in the house. Once he smiled, Steward Liu became very nervous. He secretly wondered if he had done something wrong.

"Steward Liu once said that he had a five-year-old daughter who died prematurely, right?"

"Yes." Steward Liu was confused, but he quickly responded.

"Steward Liu only has a son now. He should have had both a son and a daughter, but now it's really a pity …" He Shen sighed in a low voice, as if he really felt pity for Steward Liu.

Steward Liu nodded blankly, "Yes … My wife will always be sad for a long time when she thinks about this."

"Why don't you adopt a daughter?" He Shen said.

"Adoptive … adoptive daughter?"

He Shen smiled again and pushed a piece of paper in front of Steward Liu, "Look, this is the girl's birthday and eight characters. She is quite well-behaved.

It's not a loss to adopt a daughter with you.

Coincidentally, this girl was abandoned by her parents when she was very young. She is very pitiful. "

Steward Liu nodded in confusion. He held the paper in his hand and looked at his son's kung fu for a while. Then he vaguely understood.

Presumably, the young master wanted to do something, but he couldn't do it openly, so he had to borrow his hand.

In the background of this era, there were bold and ambitious servants, but there were even more servants who were unswervingly loyal to their masters.

Because once they became slaves, they would be lowly for the rest of their lives.

Their honor and disgrace, wealth, and honor were all one with their masters.

Naturally, they were willing to be cattle or horses for their masters.

Steward Liu nodded, lowered his head, and said, "This servant will send someone to recognize her."

"No, you go in person."

Steward Liu nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

If this trip could win the young master's favor, it would be greatly worth it!

Everyone in this house knew that the young master would have great achievements in the future!

Steward Liu didn't ask for anything else. He just hoped that in the future, his son would be able to bask in some of the glory.

On the same day, Steward Liu packed his bags and set out with a cart driver and a young maid.

The person he wanted to go to was Gusu.

The person he was looking for was a girl named "Xue Yan".

When Steward Liu found Xue Yan, he discovered that the girl was a servant of a large family. She had been the personal maidservant of that family's young miss since she was young.

Steward Liu took the opportunity and finally saw the girl named "Xue Yan".

Xue Yan had no impression of her parents. She originally thought that this person was a swindler. However, the other party revealed his identity and said that he came from the capital and was the housekeeper of an official's family.

He also brought a young maid with him.

The young maid was very attentive and actually poured tea for Xue Yan.
